The standard linear solid (SLS) model has been widely used to describe linear viscoelastic materials. Although the SLS can be extended to describe more complex phenomena through the inclusion of additional components, a compact model of nonlinear viscoelasticity remains elusive. Here, using the framework of the three component SLS model, the stress–strain relationships of the individual components...
